Whether you're taking your little ghosts and goblins trick or treating, leaf peeping or sitting around the fire pit, nothing hits the spot like warm apple cider. Combine apple cider, frozen orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, salt and spices in a large saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for about an hour. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Carefully ladle the mixture into mugs and garnish with blood orange slices if you like. For a 21 and over beverage, add dark rum or vodka and give it a stir. Thank you again to Angie for hosting #HalloweenTreatsWeek and to all of the other bloggers sharing their recipes!

No, I don't wear gloves. Yes, I regret it every single time. I cut the tops off before splitting the peppers in half. Once they're all nice and cleared out, line them up on a tray or cutting board all facing in the same direction, it makes filling them so much easier. Pipe the filling into the peppe
